Abstract
An adapter device is provided that is configured to interface with a host device according to a first communication standard via a first connector and with a transceiver module according to a second communication standard via a second connector. The adapter device detects that the transceiver module has connected to the adapter device. The adapter device retrieves transceiver module identifier information from the transceiver module and converts the transceiver module identifier information to the first communication standard. The converted transceiver module identifier information and adapter device identifier information are sent to the host device.
